What is the difference between a sculptor and a carver?
1 Answer
The difference between a sculptor and a carver is what they create. A sculptor creates works of art through a variety of processes, such as molding, carving and casting. A carver uses tools to remove material from a piece of wood or stone to create a shape that can be reproduced. Carvers make decorative objects as well as tools.
